[Video] Food Sequence

This food sequence, is a part of the almost 100 minutes SAMSARA movie. SAMSARA was filmed in 25 countries and produced over the course of almost 5 years. SAMSARA is one of only a handful of feature films, to be shot in the 70mm format in the last forty years.

To get the film from 70mm to stunningly detailed 4k resolution for theaters, each frame of the negative was scanned at 8k resolution on FotoKem’s famous BigFoot scanner. The resulting digital data file was in excess of 20 terabytes! This large file was then compressed into 4k to create the final DCP. The filmmakers extensively tested this method to confirm the benefits of oversampling in the scanning of film to digital. The result is an unparalleled viewing experience with extraordinary levels of detail, clarity, and vibrance.
